|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong pace from Dirt Cheap booting up from the rails draw to keep likely leader Applications busy. DIRT CHEAP (23) is as honest as the day is long and is yet to miss a drum in seven career outings. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and will be rock-hard fit for this fifth run from the spell. Looks very hard to toss. CRANKY HARRY (3) loves this distance range with three wins and six placings from just ten attempts and has been racing in a rich vein of form of late. Draws low for Orman and should be right there at the business end. IVERSON (15) is usually thereabouts and gets some weight relief with the claim. One for the exotics. BLAKMAX (2) also warrants respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dirt Cheap to win.
